What I did today...

Shortbread cookies!!!

Here's the recipe, it comes from the box of cornstarch :)

1 cup butter, softened (no substitutions) 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 cups flour 1/4 cup Corn StarchPreheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Mix butter, sugar and vanilla thoroughly using an electric mixer. Gradually blend in flour and corn starch.Form into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets. Gently press down on each cookie to flatten using a fork. Place a small piece of cherry in the middle, I only had red but a mix of red and green would be awesome!Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bottoms begin to brown. Cool for 5 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely.And voila! These are super simple!! And so buttery and yummy. It's hard to eat 10 at a time...
